Located in North Bracknell on Harvest Ride (the northern distributor road).
To find it follow Harvest Ride until you find the Quelm Park Roundabout, the Car Park is about 50 Meters to the East.
The Stone is only 50 metres from the carpark and a few metres from a good path, it should be accessible to wheelchair users.
This should be a popular destination, but I can find nothing written about it, I have contacted the rangers to see if they know any more. The write up on the notice board is interesting.
Size 1460mm x 966mm x 260mm estimated to weigh 1158Kg
